Intensive dialogue with the football fans
DFL continue to set great value upon the dialogue with the fans. Representatives of all clubs and fans from all over Germany meet in June.
In 2007 DFL continue to set great value upon the dialogue with the fans. On June 23rd and 24th a Fan Conference, jointly organised by DFL and DFB, takes place. Not only representatives of the 34 existing fan projects and all the club's fan representatives, but also organised and free fans from all over Germany will be able to swap ideas.
"We want to involve the fans"
"The Fan Conference gives all participants the opportunity to take part in a constructive-minded dialogue. We want to involve the fans in many subjects, like we already did in the past. The campaigns against violence and racism that the DFL have carried through would not have been imaginable without the fans' help", said Holger Hieronymus, DFL CEO for Competition.
DFL's full-time fan representative Thomas Schneider expects up to 400 participants within the two days, among them security, science and media experts.
Six working groups
"Working together with fans works best when all sit at a table together and understand that they can draw on an active and working fan organisation network", Schneider said.
During the Fan Conference the supporters will have the opportunity to take part in one of the six working groups: fan culture, areas of tension, fan support, anti-discrimination, communication and international matches.
